This is the problem with option b in the hypothetical. People always seem to want to make "proof" equitable.
And insist that any "good" god should certainly be equitable. Why? Where does the idea that god would have to be working from a plan that meets your petty value judgements come from?
Akka, you immediately reduced real life experience by countering with "someone says." Things that happen to you aren't registered in your file of information as being equal to things you hear about. The hypothetical wasn't in the realm of "heard about." It was in the realm of "happened." Option b was included specifically to differentiate that. The question isn't about how you would respond to hearing about it, the question is about how you would respond to it happening. Those are far from the same thing.
That's why I pester the proselytizers for the non-god, as well as the proselytizers for various interpretations of god. If god wants someone, god can come and get them. If they think that telling other people about the experience is going to "bring them to god" they are most likely wrong. Just like when someone says "well, such never happened to me so it can't have happened to you either" in reply they are most likely wrong.
The trouble is that if I don't know that hes working from a plan that meets my petty value judgements then I don't know if the plan is good or bad. Why should I assume the plan is good when it seems arbitrary and vindictive?
